Settling In
I know it has been awhile since my last post. It isn’t really that I haven’t had anything to write, I have actually had a lot to post. It is more of the fact that I am still trying to settle into life. I absolutely love my new job. I really think that moving the store to this busier location will help the exposure and really set the store up to do well. The problem is that the village has been really difficult so far. There were a few extra things that This town wanted that the former town did not require. This has severely set back the opening of the store. It has given us plenty of time to get in our orders and start to really get things organized and set up, but has really drained the business. Not being open for so long and still acquiring bills is not usually a good thing. Hopefully we will be able to open soon though.
I started jogging again which I really was enjoying until a week or so ago when I started to not feel well. I have just been stressed out and It was causing my stomach to act up on me. Now that I am feeling better for the most part, I have been having some mild pain in my ankles. Since I have a history of bad ankles I and taking the time to work on loosening them up before I try to get back into jogging. I have been trying to get out with Mr. Renegade and get several good long walks in though to keep up the activity as much as I can. Not to mention walking with my boy always helps me to relax and reflect on how things are doing.
I have spent some good quality time with my old friends here and that has been really nice. I am really seeing yet again who my true friends are. I have had a hard time seeing who is still here in my life and who is not. I find it really disheartening when people you thought you were close to just disappear from your life. I suppose however that if they can not be here for me when things are rough, that I don’t really need them in my life when things are going great.
I have really been down this week. I feel like I lost one of my best friends. I know that I haven’t and that the situation is for the best right now. I know things will eventually smooth out. It still is really hard and hurts to be patient while things in their life are worked out. The drama in both of our lives just seems to grow more and more out of control though. The more we try to be there and support each other the more complicated things seem to get for each of us somehow. Sorting out our own issues is really the only way to go. Once life settles down we can pick our friendship back up like we always have in the past. I am sort of disappointed though that it will probably mean a much quieter birthday. I guess that isn’t necessarily a bad things though. Plus there is still the midnight movie.
Mallory and I have been able to fit in a lot of quality time lately. We have been spending every Tuesday together refreshing ourselves with a and Harry Potter marathon and pie. Most weeks we have spent Thursdays together as well. We were even able to take a nice little road trip together last weekend. We really had a great time and I got to meet some of her friends from where she had gone to school. We picked up the last of my belongings from Beardstown as well. That part of the trip was had. I did get to see the girls which was really nice. I also got to see Bill for a very brief moment as well. I missed Dalton though. As hard as it was, I know that this is the best thing for me. I am starting to move on and get to a better place in my life, even if I am lonely most nights.
I am going to try learning guitar I think. I have found that I still seem to have too much time on my hands to think and it is driving me a little crazy, so I thought maybe trying something new might help. We will see how it goes since I don’t tend to have too much patience. I am hoping though that it will be a nice distraction that I can try to consume my mind with for awhile. Hopefully it will stick.
